The site www.ahajokes.com ... has 10000+ backlinks in MSN and Google and top rank for all kinds of jokes keywords... but for the term "medical jokes" .... how come this geocities website beat the site..... extremely unexpected. check it out http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGIC,GGIC:1970--2,GGIC:en&q=medical+jokes&btnG=Search Yes a geocities site beats all kind of biggest sites ever..... WTF...can anyone explain me this..
just look at its backlinks - has got some good ones including a google directory listing and .edu link
Geocities is a much stronger domain. It has 24 million links compared to the other sites 55,000. It even has over 600,000 dmoz listings.
Yeah Geocities may be considered passe in today's culture but they do offer a much stronger presence than even the most strategically thought of directories.
Its simply because of the authority of the domain name, thats the reason pages on blogger, blog, geocities rank easily on the top.
Not true in this case - if that was the case all the geocities websites would rank #1-10 If you see the no.of backlinks that website has with the anchor - "medical jokes" you will realise why it is #1 for that keyword.
yeh... it seems the site is very old and the owner has left caring for it......there was no reply to my email... Anyways...search for any other keyword "lawyer jokes" , "marriage jokes", "business jokes" etc...and ahajokes rocks in every case..... but for this particular keyword "medical jokes" ... this site made it. how he managed to get so many backlinks. i am wandering
